Such a cool concept, bringing in the You're the Hero type of book but with a arcade concept. The book contains two different game/story to evolve in, the story were fairly simple but alright. Unfortunately the «gameplay» the way we get through the book is completely failing the reader. First, the choice offer you page number as choice, but when you get to the page in question you can get as much as three or four short paragraph and you don,t know which one is the right one, you have to read a bit to try to identified the right one and it isn't always that clear. It would have been way better to propose a number for each paragraph... Second, too many choice just offer a «oh your action did nothing good, go back and try something else» kind of answer which is bad, frustrating and not fun. This book is copyright as 2018 and it seem like the author/editor learn nothing from the old age of this kind of book, instead of keeping the good aspect and try to renew it, they just seem like they trash it all and start as new. The gameplay is also too simple in my opinion, no dice, no characters building, just action choice that you too often take half blind. It execute the hardest part really well and fail badly on the easiest aspect, I honestly don,t understand how they achieve something like that!!

Cute but very simple story of a young girl who want to be a hero. Midly entertaining, fun at time, even a bit of a message but it lack a bit of consistence to make it reach the next level. Could have been better!

I really like My Hero Academia series, so I was curious to look at this one. Unfortunately this wasn't that good at all! This more or less recall the same event at the first few books of the collection, but in a more cartoonist take and with an humor tons that wasn't that good for me. Maybe a younger public would enjoy it, but it just feel too light, too easy in the humor style for me to really enjoy this one. I won't continue with this collection. It just don't bring anything new to the series and the humor wasn't for me!

2,5/5. A very unique style for a wordless comic book. I really like and enjoy the originality but I can't say I enjoy the story much, a bit empty and a bit too weird. Wouldn't say meaningless, but it was lacking something for me to really appreciate this one.

Exactly what this book promise to be! Smart, a good synthesis of the subject and very well explain so the general public can understand what it's about. I've learn more then I thought, I was expecting it to be good more maybe more of an introduction while in fact it goes deep enough in some place to help me learn some new stuff even if I already have a small (I insist on small) background on the subject (having read books, articles, watching documentary and others stuff about physics, astrophysics and quantum physics). If you,re interest in this subject and want to learn about it, this is a nice choice for the newcomers and the casual amateurs as well!

Cool short documentary about orcas, it present the basis information about this animal and children will learn some interesting thing, and strong point for it, it has marvelous real good quality pictures, not cheap drawing like we too often see in those little documentary for children. Worth reading!

This little collection is cute and funny. Might not be the best one but still entertaining and enjoyable! There is a lot of reference to the Doctor Who, maybe more then the previous one I've read, and of course this was a good point for me!

2,5/5. Those Chinese book always look exotic and original to me, and they are in some way. Unfortunately in the end, this is a YA book, and all the originality and the new coming with the Chinese background just isn't enough to let me enjoy the clichés and tropes of this genres that are really present here. YA fans should have a look but if you aren't don't just be fooled by the exoticism of it, you probably won't enjoy!

Une plume charmante et un beau style, mais ce recueil de nouvelles tombe dans la catégories des recueils très littéraires. Des tranches de vies, des descriptions, une fin qui malheureusement tombe assez souvent à plat. Je l’ai dit et je le redis, pour moi les nouvelles sont à leur meilleures dans des genres comme la science-fiction, le fantastique, l’horreur, où l’on peut explorer un concept ou une idée qui ne pourrait pas s’étirer sur 300 ou 400 pages. Par contre, ici, ni idée ni concept, mai simplement une écriture fine et des personnages qui auraient bien plus à offrir dans un roman que dans des nouvelles. C’est d’abord l’écriture de cette auteure qui m’avait attiré vers ce livre, mais ce ne fut pas suffisamment à la fin pour me le faire apprécier totalement. Malgré ses qualités, je dois malheureusement dire que je suis resté un peu sur mon appétit, sans pour autant dire qu’il s’agit d’un mauvais roman, loin de là.

Wow!!! Maintenant je me trouve stupide d’avoir tant attend pour lire ce livre. Magistral! L’écriture est fantastique. Je l’ai lu en deux après-midi, je tenais à le lire à voix haute, je préférais donc attendre d’être seul chez moi pour ne pas avoir l’air d’un idiot et je voulais avoir suffisamment de temps pour lire, au départ je voulais lire un acte par séquence de lecture, mais finalement j’ai lu les cinq actes en deux séquences. L’écriture est d’une maitrise à mon avis inégalée dans tout ce que j’ai lu de ma vie, certes c’est du théâtre donc l’emphase est mise sur la prose, mais le rythme, surtout lu à voix haute, le style, les rimes, tout simplement fabuleux. Et non seulement la prose est belle, l’histoire est excellente, une histoire d’amour fort touchante, mais aussi de l’action, de l’humour, de la nourriture et que dire des personnages. Un classique qui mérite amplement sa place et que je recommande à tous sans hésiter, surtout si vous lisez le français évidemment, j’ignore à quoi peut ressembler la traduction anglaise. Brillant! Sublime! Un classique personnel que je me promets de relire!!
